Mosaic Monday: In The Spirit

I was going to post some more photos from The Architect's Garden. Truly I was. And then, when I was looking through my archives, I came across these photos from my dining room last Christmas. I am really not one of those organized, cheerful Martha Stewart types who puts all her Christmas decorations up on Thanksgiving weekend. I'm more like one of those people who says, "Oh crap, I'd better get some decorations up before the season is over!" But I thought maybe posting these pictures would help get me in the mood... :)

So here you are. I'm trying my best not to say "Bah, humbug." Oh, and in case anyone is interested, the painted chest is from HomeGoods, the lamp is thrifted, and most of the cut glass belonged to my mother. The milk glass and tole trays are all my fault. Happy December. ;)

Here are the instructions to join today's post:1. Publish your Mosaic Monday post. The post may be about any subject you wish. The only stipulation is that it include a collage, or mosaic of photos.2. Once it is published, click on the title of the post. This will lead you to the static link for your post.

I think your dining room from last year is lovely. I promised myself that I would not be in a hurry to decorate this year and that's a good thing ... everything I pick up seems to have a memory attached!

Hi Mary, your decorations look beautiful. I do love your painted chest. I am right there with you, a little delay with the decorating. I guess there is just too much going on. Your photos are beautiful. Have a great week ahead.

Well, it has been a rough several months your way. I prefer to think of it as putting up the decorations so I can enjoy the season. You certainly do have lovely things and it is a joy to see your beautiful dining room last Christmas. I want to thank you many times over for your use of silk flowers. Because of that, I am free to use them, too.

Right there with you! I am having problems getting my act together this year. :/ Loved seeing pics from last year.I really like the beaded fruit in the glass bowl (compote).Did not get a mosaic ready for this week, but wanted to say - Thanks for hosting each week!

I have a pass on decorating this year, Mary, as all my decorations are already packed for our move. I'm trying to enjoy the holiday in other ways. Your dining room looked beautiful last year --I love your painted chest and all your cut glass and collectibles!

these beautiful images will certainly help get us into the Christmas spirit - I love seeing Christmas images from the northern hemisphere while we bake here in our Australian summer heat! I always delay putting up my decorations until have my grandson's birthday on 7 December. It doesn't seem right somehow to start celebrating Christmas till after HIS big day!

Your dining room sideboard looks beautiful, so elegant & stylish.I always wait until the second weekend in December before starting to decorate but this year I am not in the mood at all,it'll be a wonder if I even get the tree decorated!Thanks once again for hosting MM.

I am SO glad you told us where that awesome painted chest came from - HG, no kidding? WOW - looks amazing and perfect with your holiday colour decor/ Love it - the perfect amount of claassy holiday bling.

I am the new kid on the mosaic :-) #49 I meant to name it Fireflies on Water and not Em Ci, oh well. Anyway, I love your Mosaic Monday idea, and will be spending time in going through the beautiful mosaics. Thank you!
